My husband and I both have back pain and have tried several of the name brand mattresses. It would always be so disappointing when the temporary relief from pain would end. This set however....has not disappointed either of us. The split king allows each of us to put our heads and legs where each are comfy. Making the bed is easy as well....the remotes have a "reset to flat" button. Keep in mind that you will need twin AND King (or queen) sheets. The dust ruffle and fitted sheets go on first, followed by the King flat sheet, blanket and comforter. It is so comfortable that I've even gone many nights without the need of a pillow.
